building a still for consumable alcohol

Hi All,
Well if nothing else this is certainly off topic.
I know that among the members of this site we have a lot of knowledgeble guys and gals, but do any of you have any experience in building small stills for home use? 
brewing is probably my third love, my wife and scorp being my first and second but dont ask in which order cos I would probably have to tell a lie to maintain a happy relationship 
I have done the google and have a number of designs that I can try but being new to all things still related I thought I would just ask on the off chance.
Oh and I am aware of the dangers of alcohol poisoning  if it gets that strong perhaps the scorp may like a drop

I don't mean to be boring (for a change), but are there not slightly legal implications as to the use of stills for alcohol production......

This thread even hypothetically is starting to look a bit tricky, I hope you guys know where you are heading with this......perfect women, free drink and pinching the dye out of oil (planning some Scorpio tye dye tee shirts are we Highlander? ) Gordon is not going to be happy

The local Whisky Distillery up here gives them away free once they get to a certain age, might be something similar down your way?

Yes, but don't think it would be wise to post on a forum

my best mate just happens to own a distillery up here.. i know what he is gonna say... its really too complicated to make your own spirits. you need lots of heat, and that combined with evaporated alcohol.... i can see a big bang over the horizon!!! 
but anyway, i can get a barrell or two, but its a hell of as lot of alcohol to make for personal use? The legal implications are pretty severe if your caught....
As for taking the red dye out of diesel, now thats easy! SLOWLY drip it through a deep fryer charcoal filter, may take a couple to get it clean, i also heard, (i havent seen this one working) that stale bread works too....
